Appearance - 7 | Aroma - 7 | Flavor - 6.5 | Texture - 6 | Overall - 6.5
Hazy yellow creamy huge light yellow head.
aroma is citrussy, wheaty, herbal, yeasty, not unlike a belgian wheat ale, but not citrussy as the typical witbier also no banana as the typical german hefeweizen, more like belgian fruited wheat beer.
flavor is distinctively belgian yeasty with some fresh fruitiness going on, quite refreshing, comes off as dry, crisp and light, with yeasty and herbal bitterness. easy drikning flavorful slightly fruity wheat.

clear yellow, white head that disappears. flowery and grapefruity and grapes aroma, similar to an old fashioned UK IPA, mild, bit watery but fine body and feel for one at only 4.1%
flavor is grapefrut and flowers, crisp malts, a bit thin and watery but okay for a session lowalcish ipa.

very hazy yellow, huge creamy milk foamy head.
aroma of lemon yoghurt or sour milk, or sour beer with a lot of lacto. Also fruity and exotic fruity notes. Perhaps they combine with the lacto and gives a sour milk sensation.
Flavor is sugary sweet, grassy, various kinds of fruity, vanilla, in fact a bit like a milkshake. no sour milky notes, the end is bitter in an intersting way, vanilla and grapefruit and cream mixed up. fairly sweet beer with both high sweetness and high tartness. unusual beer, even for a milkshake type ipa.

Can. had another VHS some days ago and it was fantastic so this is getting interesting already.
hazy light yellow, light yellow large soapy head
Juicy citrus/grapefruit hoppy aroma, sold crisp malty base, really good fairly simple but very potent hoppy aroma.
flavor is more bitter hoppy than aroma, the bitterness is citrus fruit peely, sweet malts, sugary but not caramelly, end is more juicy than bitter, far end is quite grapefruity and grapefruit peely though.
An aromatic and very solid double hazy ipa, well above standard for most danish microbrewers.

clear dark brown, huge smooth light brown head
strong and quite powerfull aroma of sweet oranges and roasted malts and dark chocolate. the oranges aroma does not come off as artificial, but rather like if they had used orange peel to spice things up. Very well balanced aroma that presents itself as a whole - not the individual parts. Quite impressive body and power for a 4.5% alc beer.
palate is a bit watery, chocolate dissolved in water. Flavor is a good balance between orange lemonade, chocolate and dark, slightly roasted malts. the beer feels very light and is extremely quenchable and easy drinking for a dark beer. quite dry - not sweet - not even fruity sweet - but also not bitter.

clear golden, light yellow to offwhite smooth large head.
herbal citrussy slightly sour exotic fruity sugary sweet aroma - it is mady by agave and tequila and the beery notes. in a way reminds me of the awful cactus themed mexican style beers you can find in southern european tourist supermarkets. I forgot their name, but you know them when you see them. Unlike a refreshing drink, the aroma is a bit boozy and dank, like a body tequila with no body and cheap tequila. not overly impressed here. Flavor is like the beers i mentioned before only more intense and less beery if that's even possible. very herbal, very tequila spicy, boozy notes, the beery notes are drowned out by the tequila drink notes and the flavor never gets close to being refreshing or good tasting.
Siren usually makes good stuff, but this one is a dud.

cloudy yellow, white smooth head.
pine and grapefruity hoppy aroma with citrus fruity notes as well as exotic fruity notes.tiny bit of moudly or overripe fruit peel. the malts are sort of neutral, perhaps ever so slightly buttery.
Nice hoppy flavor but somehow comes off as thin bodied and watery. i'd like a more solid malty base, or a more crisp malty base.

pours clear dark brown, settles very dark brown, smooth but somewhat bubbly slightly fizzy looking light brown head.
roasted and smoked malts, coffee, dark chocolate in the aroma. A light aroma that is quite roasted and fits well with a 5% stout. not milky as some of them are, more dry and roasted, which i like.
flavor is roasted malty, smoked malty, dark chocolate, coffee, quenching in a way bc of the light body and dryness.. long roasted malty aftertaste. leads me to think guinness, but this one is more intense, more flavorful, less dull, yet still feels like a session stout. Good for the style if you want flavorful.

when opened, the can spilled over quite violently soaking my mouse, corner of my keyboard, my jeans, my chair , my desk and the floor. Don't rate when you are working i guess. when a beer spills over like this i punish it at appearance so that get's a 3. I had handled the can fairly until the accident and no different than a lot of other cans that behaved just fine.
looks are hazy yellow, smooth uneven head, looks fine.
aroma is mild ale, high qality mild ale - no signs of infection, hops are uk ish ale hops, very well balanced to the malts. aroma is very good, but a bit mild.
flavor is mineral watery, nutty dry malts, well balanced hops that are tasteless but not at all metallic and work as a spice to a delicious dish. the beer has a mineral watery crisp dry mouthfeel. a areal quencher, i could drink this in endless quantities, except i'd be too drunk to drink at some point. Great beer for walking or working out or relaxing afterwards.
